THERE never was more subtle or
more graceful touch Of the curtain
which half hides and halfreveals the
transforming and climacteric act Of
the drama of life than in the con-
versation between the girl and the
nurse, in "Dombey and Son." "And
did they put mamma in the cold
ground!" asks the child, thrilling
with her first apprehension of the
image and presentment of death.
"No, in the warm ground: the
ground that warns the roses and
the violets," says the nurse, giving

THE POLITICAL ASYLUM.
Accurate Report of the New Or
ganization. Complete Mem
bership.

The convention of the so-called
party whose interests in Audubon
county are managed by one Octa-
vius Phineas, whose sir name is
Waitman, at the dictation Of the
notorious pink-eyed agitator Sover-
eign, was held in the court house
Monday afternoon, Aug. Ist, at 2
o'clock. 1t had been advertised that
M. ]. Cain and the aforesaid individ-
ual of albino optics would instruct the
people IN the work OF the new party
and the mode of procedure to secure
disenthrallment from the CALLING
chains Of labor in honor OF the
distinguished guests the committee
employed a martial band to 60 to
the depot and escort them to the
hall, but the transition from the
humble walks of life to the street
pageant was too decided for the
gentlemen, and they very slyly
evaded the honor ofheing conducted
by the band, which returned from
the station alone. The route taken
by Messrs. Cain and Sovereign from
the depot to the park is not definitely
known. They did not accompany
the band, or ride in the bus, and
while some are of the opinion that
they were testing suburban walks,
others think they were a self consti.
tuted committee on inspection OF
alleys. Probably their route will
never be known, though certain i,
is they evaded the hill of Broadway.
Manager Octavius Phineas Waitmar
was derelect to the eourtesies of the
occasion, for instead of joining the
preferred escort he was lurking ir
the shade, industriously resting. A
good many who watched for the
visitors to wend their way to the
court house were mystifed as tc
their route when they found them
there at ago.
Mr.. ]. J. Mease, county chairman
called the meeting to order and pro-
ceeded with very telicisous speech
including an enunciation ofthe party
principles and congratulating the
people that the platform was broad
enough for all. He then introduced
the candidate for governor, Mr.. M
]. Cain, who came among the PEG
pie with some Of the romance abou

propriety would have suggested the
nomination OF moss back democrat.
Mr.. Cain, representing old theories
and revamping relegated relics of
ideas, coming before the people as
the candidate of a new party, is a
conspicuous failure-a disappoint-
ment to the few who have accepted
as truth the professions ofthe organ
izers that they were offering change
from the old party principles. The
speech was exclusively devoted to
financial matters, dealt indiscrimi-
nately and unntelligibly with thou
sands and millions, and was so dry
that it very often came near choking
down the speaker himself. How
ever, Mr.. Cain is much better
character than some of the men with
whom he is associated in the cam.
paign. Returning to his fields in
Poweshiek county Mr.. Cain should
improve his last opportunity to view
the capitol, while passing through
Des Moincs.
Sovereign, who lives by the sweat
of his jaw and the labor of his en-
ployes, was then allowed five min.
utes time on the rostrum. He drew
a rather pitiful picture of some per.
son who had been wronged, and
while his heart was wrung in SYM
pathy, his eyes were cast heaven
ward and tears like cod fish balls
rolled down his brazen, adamantine
cheek. Octayius Phlneas Waitman
lolled over the secretary's desk, and
the deep anguish depicted BY the
lineaments of his countenance de-
noted that he was under the spell
of the agitator. Octavius Phineas
heaved great waves of sorrow that
disturbed the folds of the American
flag and with his crimson bandana
he mopped great beads of sweat
from off his classic brow. Having
brought the sympathy of his hearers
to this tension Sovereign opportune.

work for the fraternity by lauding

card, and recommended that all

man, whose heart was aching in
sympathy and who, Notwithstanding
the extreme heat of the day, was
ready to take their order for this
boon to humanity at the regular rate
of $I.5o per year. With paralyz-
ing gall, characteristic ofthc speaker,
he said that if others desired more
boon he could furnish it in the
Industrial lpeSi for 3 cents until
the close of the campaign, or for 40
cents until the end of the year. He
then retired from the platform, and
with WaItman circulated among the
audience in search of the almighty
dollar.
A brother made motion that
Sovereign read the declaration of
principles, but one more thoughtful
of humanity suggested that the gen.
tleman was exhausted and needed
rest. So it was decrccd that Secre-
tary J. c. F. Wicker perform that
task, with which he proceeded with
reluctance. Chairman Mease then
gave an opportunity for all who so
desired to renounce allegiance to the
old parties and pledge their supper.

This matter Of requiring its mem.
bers to sign an agreement is the
one distinctive new feature of the
new party. In all other particulars
of the organization in Audubon
county it has the earmatks Of the
greenback party, and its maneuvers
are guided by the greenback owl.
The enrolment completed, the
chairman called the convention to
order and proceeded with the work
of selecting delegates to the sena-
torial convention, choosing one del
egate for each zoo votes in the county
and one tor each fractional part over
200 in addition. Following is the

Sovereign's right bower in Audi
bon county, hereinafore mentioned
as Octavius Phineas, then arose and
in stentorian tones that will chill the
hopes of Gillette, ct al, offered the
following resolution, which was
unanimously adoptedi
ReJoived, That the UNION labor party OF
Audubon county, Iowa, in convention as.
sembled, disapprove of the So called green.
back and union labor convention to be
held in Des Moines, August 31st, and we
pledge our support to the platform adopted
and the ticket nominated at Marshalltown
June 9th, and that this resolution be sent
to Gillette and BelIangee, and to, labor
papers for publication,
There being another freight bill
to pay, presumably on Cain and
Sovereign, collection was taken
up, which amounted to $3.50, and
the meeting adjourned to convene
at the call of the chairman, for the
purpose of placing in nomination
candidates for county officers.
THE CROOK AT THE CRANK.
J. X. Sovereign, the crook at the
crank of the the union party In this
section, and the honorable candidate
for lieutenant governor, spoke at the
court house in the evening Of the
same day, to an audience Of nearly
two hundred, composed OF few in.
terested parties, but a majority OF
mere spectators. Waitman again
occupied prominent position in the
foreground, with no other apparent
Office than 20 hide the scenery Of the
drop curtain with the broad expanse
of his smile when the speaker de.
livered himself of a chestnut. The
speech was characteristic ofthe man,
and differed very little from that
delivered by him on the occasion OF
the organization of the knights OF
labor assembly, last year. Ofcourse
y he arraigned both fthe old parties,
